If Harlequins DO or DO NOT reach the finals of the Aviva Championhip, I will probably have a spare long weekend (or a couple of days) on 25, 26 and 27 May...... So we might as well go and Wander
The alternatives are:
(1) IF THEY DO REACH THE FINAL
We can go Sunday 26 May returning Monday 27 May. Two days away, early train Sunday morning at around 07:40 returning Monday evening at about 18:30.
Probably repeating the good 'Begineers' Wander we enjoyed last weekend. Don't worry the roads are great and suitable for anyone.
(2) IF THEY DON'T REACH THE FINAL
We can go Saturday 25 May returning Monday 27 May. Three days away, early train Saturday morning at around 07:40 returning Monday evening at about 18:30.
Probably going to either the Ardennes or Dijon, either will offer good riding.
I will probably book myself train tickets for option B (three days away) fairly soon, hopefuly amending them to suit a two day jaunt depending on how Harequins progress towards the final.
What more?
1. Open to anyone who can do BOTH options, I would rather avoid bods who can only do the two day option. In short, both options or nothing. It will make organisation so much easier and save me running two or more lists.
OPEN TO SUBSCRIBERS ONLY.... Only because I may need to PM you, rather than relying on posts in this thread.
2. We will not know whether 'quins have reached the final until after their play-off game on either Saturday or Sunday 11 - 12 May. Nothing I can do about it before then. Even then whether we go for two or three days will depend on what hotel options I can get. It really is up in the air at the moment.
3. Where will be staying? I have no idea, not least as I don't know where or exactly when we'll be going.
4. How many bikes? A MAXIMUM of six including me. I have to put the limit in or it makes room booking too much of a lottery. As it is, I have no idea where we are going, so have no idea what rooms I can find.
5. First come first served basis. Please flag up interest in this thread only (NO PM's) telling me what room you would like (single, double) and most importantly whether you are happy to share. I will then see what I can do.
6. Everyone will have to be suitably relaxed about what we end up with. I can't predict the future or even guarantee that I can get a room for everyone. As soon as I have any more news I'll let you all know. First thing will be to book MY train ticket.... I will ping up the train times later this week.
